Meng Jixi knew that even if he responded quickly and stopped speaking, Master Xiao would be able to guess what he was going to say with just one word.
...
Xiao Xiao did not "disappoint" Meng Jixi.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh~, Uncle Meng has issued a gag order."
He was not surprised by what Father Meng did.
Naturally, the fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better, so as to avoid unnecessary complications.
…
You know, most people have the same mentality, they are afraid of trouble.
Why not avoid the trouble that can be avoided?
…
Xiao Xiao knew that if what happened last night was leaked, both he and the police would have a headache for a while.
After all, today's media is all-pervasive and extremely persistent.
And there is no shortage of people in the world who are full of curiosity.
…
Thinking about it this way, it is indeed quite troublesome.
Xiao Xiao silently reminded himself once again to keep a low profile.
…
The words were thrown out, and Meng Jixi smiled sarcastically when faced with Xiao Xiao's rhetorical question.
It's so embarrassing that you would make such a stupid mistake!
Meng Jixi couldn't help scolding herself in her heart.
But his face soon changed into an innocent look of "Did he just say something?" or "He didn't say anything."
…
"Master Xiao."
Meng Jixi changed the question, "So who is the murderer?"
After a pause, without waiting for Xiao Xiao to speak, Meng Jixi, who was excited, kept opening and closing his lips, and bombarded Xiao Xiao with a bunch of questions.
"How was the murderer caught?"
"Master Xiao, did you catch the murderer?"
"How did you catch the murderer?"
…
"Is the murderer... a human?"
Meng Jixi's expression calmed down, his eyes looked at Xiao Xiao with a strange look, and he asked him his last question seriously.
…
Xiao Xiao's calm face was slightly disturbed, and he was obviously a little surprised that Meng Jixi would ask such a question.
…
Xiao Xiao looked into Meng Jixi's eyes, which were trying to remain calm but could not conceal their nervousness and excitement. The corners of his mouth slowly turned up, outlining a bit of interest.
"Why do you ask?"
Someone who was clearly not at the scene last night.
Of the many police officers at the scene, few had such a conjecture.
And even if there is such a conjecture, no one will take it seriously.
However, Meng Jixi not only had such a conjecture, but also took it seriously.
Meng Jixi was asking him for confirmation very seriously.
Xiao Xiao could tell.
There was no hint of joking in Meng Jixi's eyes.
…
Xiao Xiao did not hide the curiosity on his face.
You know, his first meeting with Meng Jixi was not too pleasant. At that time, the other party almost regarded him as a liar.
Although after many subsequent contacts, Meng Jixi's attitude towards him changed greatly.
However, he knew that Meng Jixi was a very "realistic" person. Everything was based on science, and he was completely dismissive of the monsters and monsters in the wild histories, thinking that they were just the ignorance of the ancients.
Behind all seemingly supernatural events, they can be explained with scientific knowledge.
Those phenomena and mysteries that cannot be explained so far are only limited by the current level of science and technology.
Why wouldn't it seem a bit strange that such a person would now ask such a question that is not in line with his usual "settings"?
…
"intuition."
Meng Jixi gave an answer that seemed like a joke.
However, the seriousness in his eyes told Xiao Xiao that he was not making lies and was telling the truth.
…
In fact, when the last question appeared in Meng Jixi's mind, even he was surprised. He didn't understand why he suddenly came up with such an idea?
But how can something that happened be treated as if it never happened?
Since he cared, he just followed his heart and asked.
…
intuition?
The answer that was not within the expected range made Xiao Xiao stunned for a moment, and then he laughed a little, "Your intuition is very accurate."
…
"Master Xiao, you-" at least answer my question.
The rest of the words came to an abrupt end, "Huh?!"
Meng Jixi opened her mouth wide and stuttered a bit because she was so unexpected, "Master Xiao, what did you say?"
He never expected that Master Xiao would give any clear answer to his question.
Wasn’t Master Xiao like this before?
…
Meng Jixi was already ready to make side attacks and fight a protracted war.
But I didn't expect that Master Xiao didn't play according to the routine.
"You said my intuition is accurate?"
Meng Jixiyou repeated Xiao Xiao's words in disbelief, her voice lowered a bit unconsciously, "You mean, the murderer...is really not a human being?!"
…
Xiao Xiao curled his lips and smiled and said nothing more.
Meng Jixi seemed to understand something, and the expression on his face was a little dazed.
Was there something wrong with the way he got up today?
Why did the familiar world suddenly become fantasy?
not human?
hehe.
…
"It's not another bird, is it?"
Recalling his previous experiences, Meng Jixi asked with a somewhat erratic tone.
…
To be honest, after so long, the inexplicable smashing incident seemed to be blurred in Meng Jixi's memory, as if a layer of water mist had been added to it, and even his original thoughts became uncertain.
He later found it a bit funny that he believed in that invisible existence at that time.
but now……
…
"no."
Xiao Xiao shook his head, "It's a snake."
If the fat insect had removed its four wings and six legs, wouldn't it look just like an ordinary snake?
No, it's uglier than ordinary snakes.
If the fat insect heard what he said, he would be so angry that he might bite someone.
…
"snake?"
Meng Jixi murmured and repeated.
"Is the killer of suburban serial murders a snake?"
…
"No master?"
Meng Jixi confirmed: "Didn't this snake hurt people because it was ordered by its owner?"
The so-called master is naturally a human being.
Using animals to kill people, etc., he has not seen similar plots in novels.
…
“Nice idea.”
The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth were slightly raised, showing an expression that was half a smile but not a smile.
…
Uh, "Haha." Meng Jixi grinned dryly and laughed a few times.
Isn't he afraid that he will misunderstand Master Xiao's meaning?
It would be really embarrassing then.
Moreover, for something so beyond common sense, you must give him some time to digest it.
It was simply a huge impact on the outlook on life, worldview, and values he had always adhered to.
It's understandable that his little heart couldn't bear it for a while.
…
Xiao Xiao looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "It's time for me to go back to school."
"I can just go back by myself."
"No need to send me off."
Anyway, Meng Jixi's original purpose of taking over Meng's father's task has been achieved, and depending on the situation, he may need some time to calm down his obviously uneasy mood.
